Defending civil liberties in the state of Utah is a constant battle, but a rewarding one. The ACLU of Utah focuses on public education, legal advocacy, litigation, and lobbying at the state and local levels to ensure the constitutional rights and freedoms of everyone living in or visiting Utah. Our work is based on those principles outlined in the Bill of Rights. We continue our commitment to reform the Utah criminal legal system, protect the First Amendment, reproductive freedoms, and equality for all.
